Symptoms: There is no experience of overdose with TWYNSTA. Signs and symptoms of overdose are expected to be in line with exaggerated pharmacological effects.
The most prominent manifestations of telmisartan overdosage were hypotension, tachycardia; bradycardia also occurred.
Overdose with amlodipine may result in excessive peripheral vasodilatation and possibly reflex tachycardia. Marked and probably prolonged systemic hypotension up to and including shock with fatal outcome may occur.
Therapy: Supportive treatment should be instituted. Intravenous calcium gluconate may be beneficial in reversing the effects of calcium channel blockade.
Gastric lavage may be worthwhile in some cases. In healthy volunteers the use of charcoal up to 2 hours after administration of amlodipine 10 mg has been shown to reduce the absorption rate of amlodipine.
Telmisartan and amlodipine are not removed by haemodialysis.
